Subject: Late June HIM races on the east coast?
Working on my schedule for next season and I need a HIM race course int late June.  I'd like to stay relativelly close to home so something between MD and SC would be best.  ANyone have any suggestions?  I've got EagleMan (June 11) listed but I might do that as part of a competitive relay team so I'd want a solo HIM about 2 weeks later.  I also have an Oly scheduled on July 8.

Morgantown, WV on the 25th (MedExpress Mountaineer).  They recommend a 39x23 gearing for the bike course.  Know nothing else about it.

Further north (a lot further north) is the Tinman (Tupper Lake, NY).  Same weekend I think.

If you don't mind travelling a little bit, Tupper Lake Tinman is the end of June.  It's up in the middle of the Adirondak mountains in upstate NY.  I'll be there again.

I'd prefer to keep it close enough that I can drive there the day before and drive home the day of the race...4-5 hours...but I'm open to all options right now.

I did the mountaineer tri this summer. I'm pretty weak on the bike and didn't have a problem with the bike course. There are a few good climbs but also some nice downhills as well. Overall, I thought it was very well run and will definitely be back there next year.
